Majid Al Futtaim yesterday announced the opening of its fourth Carrefour store in the country.
The new store at the Junction Mall along Ngong Road, was first announced in November last year and will initially offer a selected product range in a partial selling area of 1,300 square metres as refurbishment work gets underway in the rest of the selling area.
The new store cater for those living in residential areas along Ngong Road, Lovington and Dagoretti Corner. Upon the completion of the refurbishment later in the year, the hypermarket will have a total selling space of 4,700 square metres.
“This is yet another significant milestone since we started operations in Kenya in 2016. We are pleased and honored to be bringing our services closer to our customers, by adopting the successful “partial selling area” model we first adopted last year, as we progressively prepare to have fully fledged operations in the popular mall,” said Franck Moreau, Country Manager at Majid Al Futtaim – Retail Kenya.
The retailer has other outlets at The Hub in Karen, Two Rivers and Thika Road Mall on Thika road, employing more than 1,100 staff since it began local operations in 2016.
